"He's now a father… it's no longer fun and games."

And yet it seems that being a father got him out of some trouble, which is the opposite.

    It does seem to me like having a young kid just means you should have thought even more about whether the dodgy stuff was worth it before you did it. I'll be charitable and go with maybe the judge was thinking that it might not have sunk in yet after only two weeks.

    Doing it where people can see you rather than far away like you can get with these drones seems a pretty silly idea, but I guess you can't expect too much from those who are prepared to try this.

    Choosing a DJI drone for clandestine stuff is also one of the worse choices if anyone has drone tracking technology over there...
